[LM24 Race] GT2 provisional!?

[davehenrie]

Have we found out yet if the ACO has declared the results official yet for GT2? I may have missed something, but I haven't seen anything since they pulled the engines for the first two cars.

I havent seen or heard anything. The ACO said July so who knows when?

When ACO does make an announcement it wont take long to get up on here.

[arakis]

the results are final and confirmed, no changes!!!! over at www.lemans.org

[Aysedasi]

Good!

Hindy mentioned it at Portimao that the results were now final and that Farnbacher and Felbermayr Proton had only had there engines back a few days before the Portimao event.

I wonder if I would be comfortable running an engine that was torn down by non-factory mechanics and then possibly rushed back together.
me-thinks I would send the ACO a bill for a new engine.

I would've thought Michelotto and Porsche would've checked the engines out once the ACO had given them back to the teams.

[arakis]

they were checked by the aco at waisah and michelotto

Glad this fiasco is over. Really wasn't quite fair to anyone keeping everyone waiting for so long. I guess now congratulations to the Felbermyer team are official.

Forgive my ignorance but what is 'waisah'? Do you mean Weissach? (as in where porsche is)

I live in Washington State, which many folks in this great land pronounce
WaRshington State. The city I live in is called Spokane, but is pronounced SPO-Kan. Some people own a Poorsh. I prefer to cheer for Por-shas. (at least when a red lizard is on the side)

Forgive our little mis-spellings or mal-a-props, most of us are in a rush to move on to the next post and show our unique insight as often and rapidly as possible.

No worries. I dont care about spelling (not that Im any good), as long I can understand what is being said (phonetically). Plus its Monday morning right now so Im still half asleep which isnt helping.

I would have imagined that firstly, after 24 hours of running the engines may be more than a little tired, and may require a rebuild, and perhaps secondly, that these teams had a second engine available for racing?

I mean what would happen if this one went BOOM in the race? A spare would either be in the truck, or in the very expensive engine shops at Weissach or Michelotto...
